Notre Dame Preparatory has without a doubt prepared me for college. With the challenging courses offered, I have become a well-rounded student and am ready to take on college!
Notre Dame Prep is an excellent high school that offers students a large selection of classes to prepare them well for college. The teachers are very friendly and incredibly smart, they are always willing to help and available at any time. The recent science, technology, and art wing have provided for better labs and increased artistic opportunities. All students are well prepared for college, AP tests, IB tests, and recieve over thousands of dollars in scholarships.
